"When you were killing Indian Apaches there, we had built Mayan cities..."

The intelligence of Vicente Fox, Mexico's ex-President, is very well known.

So I was amazed this morning while I was reading the
interview by Deborah Solomon on New York Times "Sunday Magazine", since everything sounded ok.

Was actually he speaking at all or somebody else?


Till we came to Solomon's (skeptical, xenophobic) decisive question on illegal migration:

"What do you think Mexicans have contributed to American culture?"

V. Fox answered brilliantly, introducing his wisdom with an "Oh" of surprise and obviousness:

"Oh, starting with Mexican food! The jalapeños and the tacos and the rest. I think they have contributed family values. And then we have our culture. When you were killing Indian Apaches there, we had built Mayan cities, the pyramids, Mexico City".

Right!
